Ann Zwiger tells in beautiful and simple language, illustrated by her own superb drawings, of forty acres of meadow, lake, marsh and forest in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado - of the algae and dragonflies, of deer and jays that live in the clear air at 8,300 feet above sea level. Here summer is short and winter long and often harsh, and much of life exists on the margin: in good years the grasses are lush; in bad years even the mice starve. But always it is a place of all seasons.
